Chapter 9

“What’s been going on with me Jenna?” I asked her as we walked down the hall.

“Your witch powers are taking over. Some witches are great with seduction and they can get any man to do what they want. Lust is the most powerful thing to a witch and it’s hard to control. A lot of witches aren’t able to control that and end up dying because of it.”

“So I may die if I don’t control my lust?” I’m going to die a horny sex crazed monster. Well that is just amazing isn’t it?

“Yea. The past witches that have died are gone because they can’t deal with it. And usually they kill the person who they’re lusting. You have to find a man that will be able to handle all of your lust. That man is called your Mutual.”

I groaned and nearly bashed my head into a wall. I can’t believe this. I really have to deal with this stupidity. This is going to kill me. Literally. I groaned again as we entered a room full of dresses and other stuff. I hate dresses. I really prefer shorts and/or pants.

“Ok. Now for my master she will wear black like her husband. Lily you have to wear red like your husband. Hannah you wear blue. And Keri you have to wear yellow. You actually have the cutest color out of all of the girls.”

The girls squealed and ran to the different colored dresses while I tried to make a run for it. When I reached the door Jasper walked in. “Where do you think you’re going?”

“I don’t want to wear a dress.”

“Well you have to.” He threw me over his shoulder and set me into a chair. I hissed and tried to get out his grasp. “I know that you don’t like this but you have to relax. It’s just a dress and heels.”

“You forgot about the dancing. I can’t dance Jazz and you know it.”

He just rolled his eyes as Jenna got me a dress. It looked so small. “There is no way in hell that you’re going to squeeze me into that dress. I would rather die thank you very much.”

“You’re so dramatic April.” Jenna laughed. “But put this one on. I have to do you and the other girl’s hair and makeup.”

“Well as your master I say get me something longer than that. I’m not going to expose my body.”

“But master if I don’t give you this dress you’ll suffer the consequences.”

“I’d rather take my chances. Now get me another dress.” I yelled. She nodded swiftly and came back out with another black dress. It was actually kind of nice. The top of the dress had long sleeves, the bottom of it flared out until it was past my knees. There was no V-neck or anything stupid like that. I like it. “Perfect. Now I’m to go take a shower and get this crap over with.”

Jenna smiled at me as I stomped into the bathroom. I didn’t pay attention to details because why would I care. I mean I was a slave, then I’m forced to marry, and then he wants to put me in a dress. People are trying to kill me now.

“No one’s trying to kill you. We just need you to listen to him.” Jazz argued.

“How the hell did you hear me? I’m talking to myself.” I shouted aloud.

“We share a bond. Once we joined with Jenna we opened a bond allowing us to go into your mind. You can enter ours at anytime.”

“Well I don’t want to. Now get out my head. You can show me how to block you two later.”

When no one replied I was able to take a peaceful shower. But this didn’t stop all the thoughts in my head. I walked out the bathroom. Jenna threw me into a seat and started to pull at my hair. I hissed and pulled away. “What the hell?”

“I’m sorry but I have to get started. We have just a half an hour and I still have to oil you’re body.”

“No one is oiling my body. I don’t care. I’m not going to be a spoiled little brat just because some dude picked me up. I’m not going to let this go to my head like a lot of other people do. Now just do my hair and get a purple and black dress for yourself and a purple and black tux for Jazz. Is that understood?”

They both nodded and Jazz went to take a shower. “April I don’t think that me and Jazz should go. It’s an engagement party for you and your friends.”

“And being that it’s mine I do think I have a right to choose who to invite. Now are finished with my hair?”

“Yes April. I’m sorry for my intolerance. I accept my punishment.” She sighed, bowing her head. I looked at her with wide eyes.

“What the hell would make you think that I would be such a cruel person? I will never punish someone unless they really deserved it. You did nothing at all. Now go shower.”

She nodded, and then skipped off into the bathroom just as Jazz came out. He gave me a soft smile. “I picked out me and Jenna’s clothes. Believe it or not I do know how to pick out clothes.”

I rolled my eyes and picked out another dress, not really remembering where she put the first one. The one I just picked up looked cute so I put it on. It was strapless and was bunched in the middle. Like there was too much fabric so they bunched it up in the front but it’s pulled together nicely. The only bad apart about this dress was that it was all the way onto the floor. If it was shorter then I would have been better.

“I think you look beautiful April. Austin won’t be able to keep his hands off you.” he laughed.

“If he wants to keep his hands then he’ll keep them off of me. Once you teach me how to control my powers I’ll be able to keep him in line.”

“Well it takes years to practice magic. You may reach 50 by the time you show your powers. Luckily you won’t age.”

I looked at him with wide, angry eyes. “WHAT THE HELL? ARE YOU TELLING ME THAT I’LL PROBABLY NEVER HAVE MY POWERS?” I could feel sparks at the tip of my fingers.

“Calm down. It just takes awhile for some witches to gain their power. Don’t get too upset now.” Jazz surrendered.

“Well you just compared me to other people, knowing I hate that. I can gain my own powers at my own pace.” I shouted. But once I threw my hands back, a mirror shattered. I looked back at it in shock then looked at my finger tips. They were a yellow/orange color, looking like electricity was surging through them.

I looked up to Jenna and Jazz confused. “What the hell was that?”

“Apparently due to Jasper’s teasing, you were able to gain powers earlier. You’re very lucky.” Jenna smiled.

“So I’m different from most witches? That’s awesome already.” I smiled.

“Well you were already different. After the ball we’ll tell you about the royal system in this world.” Jazz sighed.

I rolled my eyes and focused on the energy in my hands. It continued to surge until I cooled it and calmed it down. The power faded and I felt more powerful. Once my hands went back to normal I looked up at my two assistants. Jenna had already dressed in her outfit. It was long with a corset top and had a webbed design going down. Her hair was set down, framing her face. Jazz had a black tux on but he had a purple tie to go with it. I thought he looked good. Lily, Hannah, and Keri were all ready and we made our way out the room so I can get with this terrible night.
